No, there's no specific reason. I even advertised
informationfreeway.org to some beginners, but "there's another service
that might help you" isn't, IMHO, always a good excuse. Other than
that, informationfreeway.org doesn't have some way to search for a
specific place. Sure, you *should* have some kind of knowledge where
you are or what you're searching, but that's actually not always
given. (Esp. if you're searching for something in a foreign country.)

Would be nice to have lon/lat display activated as a feature, eg.
somewhere near the (or inside?) the layer list?
